Question

What is the length of a line segment with endpoints (−12, 0) and(6, 0)?

Answer 1

A.6 units

B.12 units

C.16 units

D.18 units

Answer 2

do youknow the distance formula

Answer 3

no- ;-;

Answer 4

i recommend searching it up

Answer 5

so then plug in the x's and the y's

Answer 6

Uh, thank you-?

Answer 7

So yes, the distance formula is \(d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\)
so then plug in the x and y values
(−12, 0) (6, 0)
y2=second y value
y1=first y value

x2=second x value
x1=second y value
and an ordered pair is (x, Y)
which means that
y2=0
y1=0

x2=6
x1=-12
so then plug in the numbers into the formula \(d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\)
do you think you can do that?

Answer 8

Yes-? e.e
